The Administrator Account was always created by default in Windows XP and the previous versions of the Windows. But in Windows 7 and Vista this account is not activated by default although it is created. The administrator account may be useful in case of troubleshooting or if you want to make some heavy registry tweaks. Here is how to enable the admin account:

• Go to Start and type cmd, then right click on cmd and select ‘Run as Administrator’.

• At the command prompt type ‘net user administrator /active:yes’

• Now when you log off you will see the administrator account enabled

To disable the administrator account you need to log in with the regular account type this command at the command prompt ‘net user administrator /active:no’. It is however recommended that you should not enable the administrator account unless you have to do troubleshooting that can’t be done with the regular account.
